The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by:
(a) Preventing or controlling the spread of vector-borne disease;
(b) Averting the blighting effects which the presence of vector infestation places on an affected neighborhood, including undermining the desirability of housing, causing declines in property value and contributing to the image of an environmentally unfit area; and
(c) Facilitating the services of the Joint Vector Control Program staff by making more uniform Municipal regulations concerning vector control.
